Hey all,

just thought i'd post some images from my ride this morning in the snow. First time biking in it and was rather impressed with the level of grip from my bike. Although it could of been due to riding in fresh snow rather then on ice.


view looking down towards Rudston


Woldgate in Snow (an old Roman road)


Picture from the descent into Carnaby Village

7miles in total, didn't want to get too far away from home, just incase the weather turned or something happened!

Cheers,

Matt.

Went to Hamsterley this morning - there was plenty of snow, but it started melting an hour into the ride - so we finished soaked through to our skin!

Good ride though (despite having to ride my Reign - the cart-horse!) Laughing Laughing Laughing

cheers for all the comments! The views are quiet something from Woldgate (as its fairly high for the area) so on a clear day, you can see the humber bridge on the horizon!

I was planning on going to Dalby before it snowed leesrs240, good job i didn't go from the sounds on it!
